Samsung has introduced its latest device, the Samsung
Power Sharing Cable - a double-ended Micro USB cable that allows for charging
from a smartphone to another device such as a smartwatch.

This is hardly earth shattering news we know,
but with battery blues being one of the biggest concerns for early smartwatch
users, the Power Sharing Cable certainly offers a short-term fix for the
lifecycle issue.

Using the Android Power Sharing app, you can control the amount
of power to be transferred from your smartphone to your smartwatch, and also set a
limit on the amount of juice to be left in the output device; so you won’t kill
your mobile for the sake of your watch.

The good news is the Samsung Power Sharing Cable is device
agnostic, meaning it will work with any Android phone or tablet. So you don’t necessarily
need to be part of Samsung’s Galaxy in order to benefit.

The bad news is you’ll still need to carry around that extra
charging cradle with you that most wearables come with at the moment. Universal
Micro USB charging on smartwatches can’t come soon enough.
